Alpine Linux Wiki is an open source based project, and all contributions must follow the appropriate open source licenses, the main license of the project will precede all the others when the material is original, thus giving credit and real applause to the content creators, or/and only when the content is taken from a place that allows its relicensing or alteration, otherwise measures will be discussed when making the contributions, for this we have the git request send and mix mechanism (knowed as Merge Reques or Pull Request), check contribution.md.
These contribution rules are particularly important for code the content that is to be upstreamed into the wiki, to maintain a clean paper trail of the licensing.
